DRIVING INNOVATION.

BMW ConnectedDrive services and apps in the BMW M2 Coupé.

The BMW M2 Coupé offers a wealth of effortless technology to connect you with your car and the outside world. For example, you can use Go Pro and the BMW M Laptimer App to record your driving performance, keep yourself moving with Real Time Traffic Information.

BMW M laptimer app.

With the BMW M Laptimer App, driving data from the racetrack can be accurately recorded, bend by bend, and then analysed with the aim of improving driving performance. The app collects precise data from BMW sensors and shows selected values in the Control Display. The system is operated via the iDrive Controller.

While it is recording, the app shows your GPS position, speed, forward acceleration, lateral acceleration (G-force), lap times and acceleration up to a certain speed (e.g. from 0 to 100 km/h).

The recorded data can then be posted as a snapshot to social networks, or saved and sent via email.

GOPRO APP.

The free GoPro app allows a GoPro video camera, attached either inside or outside the vehicle, to be operated via the Control Display in the BMW M2 Coupé. This means that images and video recordings can be conveniently managed via the iDrive Controller.

ConnectedDrive Services.

ConnectedDrive Services provide the driver with a wide range of information, entertainment and service features while on the road.

These include BMW Online, which gives you access to current, localised information such as weather, news, an online search powered by GoogleTM and also office functions. In the Applications menu, it is also possible to assemble an individualised array of services such as fuel price information, as well as travel and hotel guides.

Real Time Traffic Information.

Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) provides the most up-to-date traffic information at all times. Precise details about the time and duration of hold-ups are relayed to provide almost instantaneous traffic information about motorways, country roads and main roads, as well as numerous urban routes. Intelligent alternative route suggestions help the driver reach their destination as efficiently as possible. The data is drawn from such sources as anonymous movement profiles from the GPS data of vehicle fleets, smartphone apps and police reports, and also takes into account established traffic patterns such as peak commute times.

The traffic information is clearly presented, with the roads displayed in green, yellow, orange and red.

BMW Emergency Call.

The BMW Emergency Call guarantees fast, targeted assistance round-the-clock as well as support from trained staff – in the driver's native language, even when they're abroad. If an accident takes place involving the activation of an airbag or the seat belt tensioners, a BMW emergency call is automatically issued. Relevant details such as the exact position of the car, the severity of the accident and the possible risk of injury to occupants are transmitted to a BMW Call Centre via the car’s built-in SIM card, i.e. independent of a private mobile phone. The BMW Call Centre will inform the nearest rescue coordination centre and provide assistance over the phone until the rescue services arrive. The emergency call can also be triggered manually for example- in case other road users require help.
